How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It's best suited for commuting, learning, and casual weekend rides rather than outright performance.
- Built for
- The V-twin engine gives it a characterful, torquey feel at low revs despite its small displacement, paired with agile, flickable handling typical of naked bikes.
- Not ideal for
- It's not a good fit for riders seeking high-speed touring capability, passenger comfort, or off-road performance.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
